Recently, A pair of artists captured the Bust of Nefertiti in extremely high-resolution 3D scans. They made the mesh available to download for free on the internet. This sort of archiving is important in preserving artifacts and providing artists with materials to create derivative works and expand the artistic language around the topic of art and the post-modern age.

This is one study I did with the model recently involving fluid simulation in the open source 3D software blender.
